More formating help (center alignment & return)

Just updated to 0.9 from 0.8.3 and I'm having more formatting issues.

Now I can't seem to get these to work in my track info panel:

$char(1)C
$get(leading_color)-- Song Info --
$char(10)

The $get works, but the two $char() don't. Now the text is not centered and it doesn't give me a line return like it did in 0.8.3.
New commands?

Much thanks as always.

The latest version of trackinfo (in fact, I think just released today) removed the old $char(1)C, etc. codes in favor of proper $tab() support.  To center text, you surround it with $tab()'s, like such:

Code: [Select]
$tab()$get(leading_color)-- Song Info --$tab()$char(10)

Hehe, not sure what "proper" support would be, I just take others code and tweak it here and there. So if $char(1)C or now $tab() works to center, I just say "alright" and use it without understanding. :-)

Also, it's hard to find answers in a thread 20+ pages long. After your suggestion I did go to the last page (29 right now) and saw someone else asking the same thing, but usually finding info in a thread that large is not very efficient.

It works now, thanks to both of you for the help.

Tip: Near the bottom of any topic page is a text box with a "Seach Topic" button next to it,
entering "char(1)C" or "center" is very efficient in this case.

Doh! I've never noticed that before! 
And to think I have gone page by page before in other threads looking for things.

Thanks again.

Dang, I never saw that either.  Thanks for the tip!
